The dragons will dance tonight acknowledging the gift of flight by staying on the Earth, until liberated in the coming crystalline moment of Midnight. More demons walk the world this year; they know well there is no heaven there is no hell, is it fear that keeps your lights on or do you welcome them? They stride before the human tide of creative theology, abstract frivolity, the optimistic lifeline of the desperate and the hopeful, the platitudes of semi-celibate mortal men dressed in brocade gowns, confronting them from now until Walpurgis Night when the Northern World again awakes and the Earth's lifeblood flows to bud. It takes my breath away some times when I can slow my eyes to see through each disguise, to catch their movements in the shadows, as they slip in and out of sight tickling the seams of consciousness that bind the dreams of righteous nonbelievers through each sweaty fitful night. ©2003, 2007 by icebox . |

I very much enjoyed this but today this is what hit me: "righteous nonbelievers" because of a discussion gone bad last night. Why do some think that their way is the only way and that if I question that they think I am trying to make them agree with my ideas, thoughts and beliefs? I just want more open minded sight. meh...  love ya Icy."too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

"It takes my breath away some times when I can slow my eyes to see through each disguise, to catch their movements in the shadows, as they slip in and out of sight tickling the seams of consciousness that bind the dreams of righteous nonbelievers through each sweaty fitful night." and the rest of it too your work enchants me always |
